I received plumeria cutting from Hawaii which I planted using 75% potting mixture and 25% perlite. The plumeria cuttings are in this potting mixture inside plastic bags, which are sealed with tape. This allows the cutting to develop roots in a protected environment. Some things take so long!!!
When I first placed the cuttings into the soil, I knew that I had to be patient. After all, plumerias are not quick growers when started from cuttings. They need time, warmth, and the right balance of moisture and air circulation.
The sealed plastic bags create a mini greenhouse effect. It traps humidity, which encourages the cutting to callus and eventually send out roots. Interesting, huh!
I am finally seeing some growth!
Tiny green shoots are beginning to emerge! The stem still looks firm and healthy. Hurray! It feels like a small victory. It is proof that the plumeria cuttings are alive and responding to the environment I created for them!
Although it is too early to say for certain, I do hope that they will survive and flourish.
Growing plumeria is a lesson of patience and persistence!
These tropical beauties truly test your resolve.
I have managed to "kill" many cuttings in my lifetime.
You cannot rush them. You simply provide the right conditions and wait. The anticipation makes the wait more rewarding.
